Sorry i forgot to mention the battery that is used for the Ohms function. It is actually a photographic battery and should still be available in almost any decent photography store. If not you can use 3 x 9 volt batteries but you won't need any resistors as 3 x 9= 27. No need for dropping resistors or current limiting of any kind. One thing I really like about the meter is the overload breaker that will trip if you make an Ooooops with the meter. Not sure what you meant by non-standard jacks. The meter I have has standard banana jacks which are standard. I made up meter leads from HV wire rated for 10 Kv and you do not want to use just any wire for the leads as most is rated for only 600 volts.
